Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most popular areas of dentistry and it’s easy to understand why. As opposed to other dentistry services like restorative and preventive, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile rather than functionality. Everywhere you look there seem to be people with whiter and brighter smiles than ever before. Dental technology has advanced so much just over the last five years, and we want you to take advantage of these services.
Our Farmington, MI office offers specialized cosmetic dentistry services for all of our patients. Dr. Metzger is the cosmetic dentist Farmington, Novi and Farmington Hills residents can trust to get their smiles looking beautiful. One mustn’t ever underestimate the power of a white smile – it can make a great first impression. A white smile can help you get that job you’ve always wanted or a date with that special someone you’ve been eyeing. Since your teeth are one of the first physical traits anyone notices, it’s best to get them looking as beautiful as possible. Celebrities don’t have to be the only ones with million-dollar smiles – you can enjoy the same when you visit our office. Dr. Metzger is the cosmetic dentist Farmington residents can trust.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction also known as TMD occurs when the joint connecting your jaw (mandible) to the rest of your skull (temporal region) is strained or otherwise does not function correctly. TMJ disorder can be extremely painful, cause chronic headaches, earaches, hearing loss, inhibits speech and chewing, and can lead to numerous other medical concerns. Still, if you mention TMJ dysfunction or TMD, many people aren’t quite sure what it is. Common misconceptions are that this joint discomfort is untreatable, and that it is the same thing as lock jaw (an infection from the tetanus bacteria). If you’ve experienced jaw pain, swelling or difficulty opening and closing your mouth, you may wish to visit Dr. Leslie M. Metzger of Monet Aesthetic Dentistry to find out more about TMD and possible treatments. Our practice is dedicated to providing patients with outstanding preventive dental care, and that includes screenings for TMD at every six month checkup.
